Aircraft safety

•Switch off your phone and remove its battery when inside or near an aircraft. The use of phones in aircraft is illegal. It may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and it may disrupt the mobile network. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of mobile network services to the offender or legal action or both.

•Do not use the phone on the ground without the permission of the ground staff.

Hospital safety

•Switch off your phone and remove its battery in areas where the use of phones is prohibited. Follow the instructions given by the respective medical centre regarding the use of mobile phones on their premises.

General safety

•Observe "Turn off mobile" signs, such as those near petrol stations, chemicals or explosives and switch off your phone.

•If you have a heart condition, be careful with the call vibration or tone volume settings.

•Do not allow children to play with the phone, charger or batteries.

•Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress.

•The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, may be affected if you use a mobile phone next to them. Observe any warning signs and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

•Your phone contains metal which may cause a skin irritation, a rash or eczema.

Road safety

•You MUST exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. Give your full attention to driving.

•Observe all local safety regulations regarding the use of mobile phones while driving.

•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call.

•You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make a call, except in an emergency.

•Switch off your phone at a refuelling point, such as a petrol station, even if you are not refuelling your own car.

•Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as a radio transmitter.

•Electronic vehicle systems, such as anti-lock brakes, speed control and fuel injection systems are not normally affected by radio transmissions. The manufacturer of such equipment can advise if it is adequately shielded from radio transmissions. If you suspect vehicle problems caused by radio transmissions, consult your dealer and do not switch on the phone until it has been checked by qualified approved installers.
